In order to manually update your driver, follow the steps below (the next steps):ġ.

Take into consideration that is not recommended to install the driver on Operating Systems other than stated ones. If the driver is already installed on your system, updating (overwrite-installing) may fix various issues, add new functions, or just upgrade to the available version. Although this is technically a good idea for Wi-Fi newcomers, it didn’t work easily with D-Link’s DIR-855 Xtreme N Duo Media Router, and we ended up opting for the traditional process.The package provides the installation files for D-Link DWA-130 Wireless N USB Adapter (rev.F1) Realtek Wireless Driver version 1027.4.630.2015. Push Button Configuration is one of these WPS processes, simplifying the connection process by first pushing a virtual button in the software then pushing the corresponding button on a compatible router you want to connect to.

The adapter implements Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) as an optional connection process, though this is the adapter’s weakest point. Set up is fairly simple for Windows, though it lacks any form of support for Mac OS X. With no easy way to secure the adapter’s plastic cap, though, the DWA-160 is unlikely to survive rigorous travel. A nice touch is the small hole on the end for attachment to a key ring. The DWA-160 is fairly wide for a USB adapter, so users of notebooks with close USB ports may find themselves short a port or two when the adapter is plugged in. D-Link’s DWA-160 solves this problem with a fairly quick dual-band USB adapter capable of connecting and communicating with the latest high-end draft-n routers. However, with the expansion of 802.11 draft-n Wi-Fi into homes over both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, chances are your computer isn’t transferring files at the fastest possible speeds. With built-in Wi-Fi now a regular feature of the latest PCs and notebooks, the role of the humble USB adapter is somewhat diminishing.
